During a race, you are running at a speed of 4.50 m/s. You want to pass a slowerrunner, so you increase your speed steadily (that is, with constant acceleration) to5.75 m/s over a time period of 3.00 s. What was your acceleration over this timeperiod, and what distance did you travel between when you started and ended theacceleration? When taking off, a commercial airliner starts from rest and attains a velocity of81.0 m/s over a distance of 1.50 km. Assuming that it accelerates at a constantrate, what is this rate of acceleration?

The objective of the first part of the question is to calculate the acceleration and the distance…
